1. ¿Vienes aquí a menudo?
You can’t get much more basic than this old classic pickup line. If you want to keep it short and sweet when you approach someone, you can simply ask “do you come here often?”
Just as with the English equivalent, this line doesn’t explicitly suggest romantic intent, but everyone knows it’s a conversation starter used by someone who means to flirt.
2. Que sonrisa tan linda tienes ¿Me puedes decir tu nombre?
If you’d like to be a little more forward, you can go with “what a beautiful smile you have. Can you tell me your name?”
Another way to ask for someone’s name in Spanish is ¿Cómo te llamas?
3. Eres tan guapa ¿Puedo comprarte una bebida?
This is one for the smooth talkers among us. If you are feeling a little bold, you can open with “you are so beautiful. Can I buy you a drink?”
You can also say eres tan linda/ bonita/ hermosa for “you are so beautiful” when talking to a woman. If you are coming onto a guy, you can call him guapo/ hermoso.
Another way to ask if you can buy someone a drink is ¿te puedo invitar a un trago?
This can lead to some confusion, as invitar is a false friend in this context. Sometimes, a Spanish person learning English will say “can I invite you?” meaning “can I treat you?”, or “can I pay for this one?”
4. ¿Crees en el amor a primera vista, o debo pasarte otra vez?
Now we are moving a little away from the basic come-ons and more toward the cheesy. This pick-up line translates as “do you believe in love at first sight, or should I walk past again?”
This is a great choice if you want to go in with a sense of humor, rather than on a serious note.
Another funny option is to say hola, soy el Señor Correcto/ la Señora Correcta. Alguien ha dicho que estaba buscando para mí. This means “hello, I’m Mr./Miss Right. Someone said you were looking for me.”
5. ¿Cómo se siente al ser la más bella chica en esta sala?
The last of our “basic” come-ons is the simple but effective “how does it feel to be the most beautiful girl in the room?”
If you think the girl you’re eyeing up would appreciate this corny one-liner, by all means, give it a go!
5 Cheesy Spanish Pick-Up Lines
Okay, if you thought some of those pick-up lines were cheesy, you’re in for a shock!
1. ¿Estás perdido? Porque el cielo es un largo camino desde aquí
This hilarious come-on means “are you lost? Because the sky is a long way from here,” the implication being that the person you’re talking to fell from heaven.
This line is a lot like the English “did it hurt? When you fell from heaven.”
You can also say ¿estás perdido? Porque al cielo hay un largo camino desde aquí. This has the same meaning as the above.
2. Si besarte fuera pecado, caminaría feliz por el infierno
Taking the cheesy theme and running with it, we present you with this classic! “If kissing you were a sin, I’d happily walk through hell.”
Talk about a romantic comedy!
3. Si yo fuera azafata, te llevaría en mi avión, pero como no lo soy, te llevo en mi corazón
These funny pick-up lines are only going to get sillier from here.
This one means “if I were a flight attendant, I’d carry you in my plane, but as I’m not, I carry you in my heart.”
If you are a man, use afazato!
It’s probably a good idea only to use this one with someone you’ve got a pre-existing relationship with, as it’s a bit much for a first impression!
4. Si tus ojos fueran el cielo y tu boca el mar, me gustaría ser el horizonte para poderte besar
Feeling poetic? Why not give this pickup line a whirl?
It means “if your eyes were the sky and your mouth were the sea, I’d like to be the horizon to be able to kiss you.”
How cheesy! How sweet!
5. Si la belleza fuese delito, yo te hubiera sentenciado a cadena perpetua
Finally, and perhaps most cheesy of all, we have “if beauty were a crime, I’d have sentenced you to life without parole.”
You can also say yo te hubiera dado cadena perpetua.
The only way to pull this off is with an ironic smile and a great sense of humor. However, if you think you can get away with it, be it in Spain or Latin America, then good luck to you!
This is similar to the Spanish pick-up line si el agua fuese belleza, tú serías el océano entero, “if water were beauty, you’d be the entire ocean.”
Grammar Break!
You might have noticed the sentence structure “si yo fuera…” and “si la belleza fuese…”, these are examples of the imperfect subjunctive in Spanish.
This mood is used to express sentiments like “if I were… I would…” and is often followed by the conditional tense.
5 Bold Spanish Pick-Up Lines
1. Perdí mi número de teléfono, ¿Me das el tuyo?
This means “I’ve lost my phone number, can I have yours?” You can also say ¿puedo tener el tuyo?
Use this line if you actually intend on getting the person’s number. It’s a little silly but it can work!
2. Tantas curvas y yo sin frenos
This one is both bold and corny. It means “so many curves and I lack brakes”.
It’s a pretty audacious thing to say to someone if you’re not very sure they’re interested, as it’s a comment on their body and your interest in getting to know it!
I did attempt to use this in Argentina once, and managed to escape without a slap to the face! So, proceed with caution!
3. Si fuera Superman te llevaría volando, pero como no lo soy te acompaño caminando
“If I were Superman I’d carry you flying, but as I’m not, I’ll walk you.”
This is a bold pick-up line as it’s a way of cheekily asking to walk someone home, which can be a big step.
4. ¿Me dejas tomarte una foto? Quiero enseñarle a Papá Noel lo que quiero para Navidad
We’re stepping up the corny with this one. It means “can I take your picture? I want to show Santa what I want for Christmas.”
Obviously, this could lead to you actually taking the person’s photo, if they’re good-humored about it, which makes this a pretty bold choice.
5. ¿Tienes frío? Me puedes usar como cobija
Finally, this bold come-on line means “are you cold? You can use me as a blanket.”
Clearly, to use this one, you need to be somewhat comfortable with one another and in a position to be physically close.
If you’re getting serious in your relationship with a Spanish speaker, it might be time to learn some less corny and more romantic phrases in Spanish.
FAQs: Fun and Flirty Spanish Pick-Up Lines
What does “un diamante como tú” mean in Spanish?
Un diamante como tú means “a diamond like you” in Spanish. This phrase can be used in the pick-up line quisiera ser joyero para poder apreciar todos los días un diamante como tú, which means “I’d like to be a jeweler so I could appreciate a diamond like you every day.”
How do you complement someone’s eyes in Spanish?
To compliment someone’s eyes in Spanish, you could use the pick-up lines ojalá la mitad de las estrellas brillaran tanto como tus ojos or ¿tienes un mapa? Me he perdido en tus ojos.
Respectively, these mean “I wish half the stars shone as bright as your eyes” and “do you have a map? I’ve gotten lost in your eyes.”
How can I tell someone they are beautiful in Spanish?
To call someone beautiful, you can go for the basic hola guapa/o, ¿qué tal?, meaning “hello beautiful/ handsome, how’s it going?”
